1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Peanut or vegetable oil for frying

Drain chicken; toss pieces, one at a time, in flour mixture. Shake off excess; place on waxed paper for 15 minutes.
Heat 1/8 to 1/4-inch oil in a large heavy skillet; fry chicken over medium heat until browned on all sides. Cover, and simmer, turning occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes, or until juices run clear.

Answer 2

This is an easy and simple way of making southern fried chicken and country gravy.

Start with two big bowls.

In one bowl put a mix of flour (around 3-4 cups), salt, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika and be generous about it. You can add a little cayenne pepper or chili powder for a zing.

In the other bowl beat a couple of eggs and add a little milk (about half a cup).

Cut chicken breasts into strips, after trimming off all the fat etc.

Now dip the chicken in the egg/milk wash with one hand, drop into the dry mix and turn and coat with your other hand. Then put it back into the egg/milk wash and turn with the wet hand and put back in the dry mix and coat again. Shake off excess gently and place in shallow oil that is already heated to a high temperature.

Only takes a few minutes for it to cook through. Turn frequently, drain on some paper towel and there you go, delicious, simple southern fried chicken.

Go and get a Pioneer Country Gravy mix at Wal-mart (Pioneer is by far the best packet gravy mix) and follow the instructions on the back, easy peasy.

Bon Appetite.

1/4 teaspoon onion salt

Salt and pepper
3 cups solid vegetable shortening

Soak chicken in buttermilk with garlic, onions, herbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on chicken.
